#Mastery Chat Questions for Thursday, April 2nd, 2020

Questions

(8:00 ET) Intro/Welcome: Welcome to #masterychat. Please introduce yourself and where you’re from as well as share a GIF of how your last couple weeks have gone.

(8:05 ET) Q1 No one could expect the drastic changes we’ve experienced in education over the last few weeks. What has been your greatest adversity with these changes so far? #MasteryChat

(8:10 ET) Q2 What is one way you’ve been thriving (it’s ok to brag) in this new environment for education (remote learning, distance learning, etc…)? #MasteryChat

(8:20 ET) Q3 One of the pillars of success or thriving in any environment is taking care of yourself. How are you currently practicing self-care so you can thrive in this new era of uncertainty? #MasteryChat

(8:30 ET) Q4 Teachers were asked to “Apollo 13” an entirely new learning experience for students, overnight, with little to no support or resources in the early phases of school shut downs. This was truly an amazing feat. What allowed you to find success as the initial announcements and last minute changes were being made? #MasteryChat

(8:40 ET) Q5 What is one tool that has helped you thrive or connect better with your students or their learning remotely, and how has this tool changed how you interact with learners or content? #MasteryChat

(8:45 ET) Q6 We can’t thrive alone. Who are some amazing team members, colleagues, friends or family or organizations that have helped you be successful and thrive over the last few weeks (TAG THEM HERE!)? #MasteryChat

(8:50 ET) Q7 Thriving also requires that we reflect. Share one FAILURE you’ve had or struggle you’ve had that you can help another educator AVOID. Many times it’s sharing of what “not” to do that can be the most helpful. #MasteryChat
